In certain positions the plow left to right lever is really close , almost touches the automatic forward/reverse lever. A thicker handle on either lever would create a problem. That is very much appreciated information! I'll triple check that plow lever and re-bend it or make a new one if I have to. Thanks Don. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 67,562 #30 Posted December 1, 2022 @D_Mac Thanks for the pic. A little outward Z bend in that plow angle lever would solve that right quick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,619 #31 Posted December 1, 2022 You would have to do something with the release rod if you bend the handle. Wonder if a golf club grip would slide over the hydro grip. Just a thought. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been thinking about changing over to a bicycle cable anyway so that would be a good driving force to make me get to the conversion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelhorse#1 1,666 #33 Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) This is what I did to mine.Added a bigger knob to it.I drilled a hole down through the plastic and screwed a brass coupler fitting in and attached the knob to that. I would still like it a couple inches longer though. Edited December 2, 2022 by Wheelhorse#1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use a heavy glove, better yet, one of those silicone grippy pads for opening bottle caps. Grip the handle, give it an upward twist while applying upward pressure on the wrench below This method... With a little help... Worked super slick. Grabbed the heaterator gun. I put a 7/16 wrench on the bottom of the knob and after heat it moved a skosh. Tapped it VERY gently with a small hammah and up it went! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
